Product Information

Product Family: VLT 2800

The Danfoss 195N1063 is a VLT 2800 family frequency inverter, model VLT2830PT4B20STR1DBF00A00, for variable-speed control of three-phase AC motors. This 3 kW, 4 hp drive accepts a 380-480 V AC three-phase supply and provides 7 A continuous output current with 4.8 kVA apparent power. It combines VVC+ voltage vector control and V/f scalar control in a compact IP20 enclosure, with an integrated Class 1 RFI filter and dynamic brake chopper.

Replacement commissioning requires more than fitting the inverter in the panel. The drive uses terminal-based digital inputs, analog inputs, a pulse input and a relay output, while its built-in RS-485 interface supports Danfoss FC Protocol and Modbus RTU at speeds up to 38400 bit/s. PROFIBUS DP and DeviceNet integration requires the appropriate option card. Parameters can be stored in four independent setups in internal non-volatile EEPROM and transferred through the built-in LCP display or Danfoss MCT 10 Setup Software with an RS-485 converter. Check the motor rating, 380-480 V supply, 7 A output requirement, communication option and braking configuration before commissioning a spare.

The built-in LCP 7-segment control panel displays fault codes, while Danfoss MCT 10 Setup Software, fieldbus register queries and RS-485 monitoring provide additional diagnostic access. The ON, WARNING and ALARM indicators distinguish control-card power and ready status, an active warning, and a trip that disables drive output. First-line checks depend on the displayed fault: inspect supply voltage and fuses for mains faults, control-terminal wiring for live-zero errors, motor and cable insulation for earth faults or short circuits, and the mechanical load and ramp settings for overload or overvoltage conditions. Internal inverter or control-board faults require repair or replacement of the unit.

Programming and Configuration

The VLT 2800 drive stores four independent parameter setups in internal non-volatile EEPROM. This allows parameter sets to be retained in the inverter and used during replacement commissioning.

Parameter backup and transfer can be performed through the built-in LCP display or Danfoss MCT 10 Setup Software. MCT 10 requires an RS-485 converter for connection to the drive. Before returning a spare to service, transfer the required parameter setup and confirm that the motor, control-terminal and communication settings match the existing installation.

Communication and System Integration

The drive provides an RS-485 serial interface via terminal strip. Built-in communication supports Danfoss FC Protocol and Modbus RTU, with communication speeds up to 38400 bit/s. The interface can be connected to a control or fieldbus system for drive control, parameter access and diagnostic register queries.

PROFIBUS DP and DeviceNet are available through the appropriate option card. When replacing a unit in a networked machine, match the required protocol and option-card arrangement, then check the RS-485 wiring and fieldbus communication state during commissioning.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

The built-in LCP 7-segment control panel displays fault codes from the frequency inverter. Danfoss MCT 10 Setup Software provides parameter and diagnostic reading, while fieldbus register queries and RS-485 communication monitoring provide diagnostic access through the connected control system.

The three status indicators separate ready, warning and trip conditions. An active ALARM condition disables drive output. For troubleshooting, use the displayed code together with checks of the mains supply, control-terminal wiring, fieldbus connection, motor cabling, insulation, mechanical load, ramp settings and braking function as applicable.

Status LED Indicators

LEDColor/StatusMeaning
ONGreenControl card power supply is active and the unit is ready
WARNINGYellowAn active warning condition is present before a drive trip occurs
ALARMRedA trip condition caused by a fault is present and drive output is disabled

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

The Danfoss 195N1063 is a discontinued VLT 2800 frequency inverter intended for maintaining existing installations. For a replacement, match the 195N1063 part number and VLT2830PT4B20STR1DBF00A00 model/type, then confirm the 380-480 V AC three-phase supply, 3 kW rating, 7 A continuous output current, IP20 enclosure and required communication arrangement.

Check the installed panel for the integrated Class 1 RFI filter, dynamic brake chopper and any PROFIBUS DP or DeviceNet option card requirements. The compact housing supports side-by-side mounting without derating, but the control-terminal wiring, RS-485 network connection and braking configuration must still match the machine installation.

A spare may require parameter transfer before it can run the motor correctly. Restore the required setup through the LCP display or Danfoss MCT 10 Setup Software with an RS-485 converter, then verify motor, control, communication and ramp parameters. For internal power-board, gate-drive or control-board faults, repair or a tested exchange unit is the practical route back to operation.

Which communication protocols are built into this VLT 2800 drive?

The drive has an RS-485 interface via terminal strip and supports Danfoss FC Protocol and Modbus RTU at speeds up to 38400 bit/s. PROFIBUS DP and DeviceNet require the appropriate option card.

How can parameters be transferred to a replacement drive?

Parameters can be stored in four independent setups in internal non-volatile EEPROM and transferred through the built-in LCP display or Danfoss MCT 10 Setup Software using an RS-485 converter.

What does the red ALARM indicator mean?

The red ALARM indicator means that a trip condition caused by a fault is present and drive output is disabled. The LCP 7-segment panel displays the related fault code.

What should be checked for fault code 7?

Fault code 7 indicates overvoltage when the DC link voltage exceeds the maximum safety threshold. Increase the deceleration ramp time or check the brake resistor function.

Can an internal inverter fault be corrected through machine wiring checks?

Fault code 37 indicates an internal power-board or gate-drive hardware fault, while fault code 38 indicates an internal control-board microprocessor or memory communication error. These conditions require repair, replacement or factory service of the unit.
